My eyes are wrapped in a film of denial as you stare straight through me.
I am a ghost to you; but I wish you could at least pretend my bones were made of substance.
Like a true teenage tragedy; we sifted through the tattered pages of Romeo&&Juiliet;
Just searching for a reason to die.
We are a suicidal complex waiting for a trigger.
We have interlaid fingers and interlocking hearts.
So please tie together our lies to make it look like we have sown together a truth.
Chains are constricting my throat and I’m spilling those polished words you just crave to hear.
I can feel bullets lodge themselves inside my wrist and slowly spread throughout my blood.
Talk me through this baby;; (how does it feel to die?)
You are beautiful and I am seamless.
They’ll stare at us with a glare fused with pity and disgust.
They’ll never understand our cherry cuts and glazed eyes.
So before you retrace our dandelion wishes and steppingstones to find out were we went wrong;
Hold our memory to the skies and let it rain pellets of smiles upon your creased lips.
Remember what it is to love.
Remember what it is to live.
Remember us.

"We are a suicidal complex waiting for a trigger.
We have interlaid fingers and interlocking hearts."
